Learn about the science behind how a meditation practice calms anxiety with Wellness Medicine Summit speaker Ariel Garten, co-founder of the popular Muse meditation headbands. She takes us through a breakdown of what actually happens in each part of the brain during an anxious moment, and teaches us how you can feel in control. Meditation strengthens your prefrontal cortex, and trains your brain to move out of fight or flight and into calm in stressful situations. Take a deep breath with Ariel to settle your nervous system and find your power and serenity!
